Bath re-enamelling for Linfit homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Linfit

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linfit as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Linfit

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

When to call us in Linfit

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Linfit

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover Linfit?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Linfit for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Linfit. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Linfit and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
